The evil consequences of vast treas
ury surplus derived from unneeded tax
alton are brought out in strong light
by the argument of the committee on
invalid pensions in answer to the veto
message of the president. The fact of
the surplus is made an excuse for spend
ing it, not only this year, but for many
years to come. If there had been no
SUI, H., there would be no such wild
schemes of expenditure as are now pro-
posed for pensions, for education, for
Notifications, internal improvements
and public buildings. This is reversing
the proper order of legislation. Taxes
should be laid to meet expenditure, in
stead of devising expenditure to get rid
of the proceeds of high taxes. Those
representatives in congress who have
steadily opposed themselves to proper
methods of tax reduction have done in
calculable mischief to the productive
interests of the country. Philadelphia

The Railroad Boom.

The railroad boom now in progress is
not confined to this locality. All over
the north and south the people are talk
ing railroad and the prospect is that
the number of miles constructed during
the coming season will be in excess of
that of any previous year. The secret
of the boom is not hard to discover.
The vast accumulation of money in the
eastern banks is making the holders of
this money poor. Money must produce
something or the capitalists taxes will
eat him. The steady reduction of the
national debt has thrown millions of
dollars into idleness, and its owners
must find something for it to do. Small
loans are always Objectionable to large
capitalists; they want their invest
ments placed in large blocks, where
they can be easily handled. They are
ready to advance money at low rate of
interest to establish large enterprises
where the security is reasonably good.
This condition of things has induced
railroad projectors and railroad COM
panies already established, to build new
lines and to extend old ones. They can
get all the money they desire for that

Mrs, ROXilina DruSe was hung for
the murder of her husband at Herkimer,
Y. Y, last. Monday at noon. The
morning of the execution she made the
following confession to her minister,
which is horrible in the extreme
"What am about to say to you,
she said, has never been made public
before, and assure you on the honor
of a woman standing on the brink of
the grave, that am speaking the truth.
About December 1St, on Wednesday
night, DruSe was away as he usually
was. Gates came in and asked me if |
did not want to get rid of Druse. l
told him l was nearly dead now, and
did not care what happened. He asked
me if 1 had the pistols he gave me and
l told him yes. | went and got them,
he loaded them and | showed him that
| could shoot them. Then he went
away. but came again on December II,
the night before the murder, and told
me to hurry up; to take the first chance
| got. lie said | should not burn the
head, because it would leave traces he
would take care of that. The next
morning l saw him coming up the road
just as Druse sat down to breakfast.
This was just after he raised the axe to
strike me. ] ran into the buttery, got
a pistol and came out. He was sitting
down at the table. He swore awfully
about the tea and sugar. L raised the
pistol and shot. / hit him in the neck
and only stunned him. Gates then shot
through the window and he fell to the
floor. 1 only shot once. Gates shot
three or four times. took the axe and
cut his head off and chopped him up.
The head was wrapped in paper and
carried out to wood shed. 1t was put
in lot of buckwheat. The body was
all burned up; none was given to the
pigs. Gates came that night. l told
him what had happened. He said he
would come for the buckwheat to-mor-
row morning, which he did. He took
Druse's head with him. 1t was buried
mile from Richfeld Springs where l
could find it if l chose. 1t took eight
hours to burn the body and it made an

purpose and at reasonable rate, and
they feel that this is the time for them
to push their work. They know that
labor is plenty and can be obtained at
fair figure. in short, the work can be
done cheaper than ever before. Besides
this, the recent business depression has
convinced the people generally that bet
ter transportation facilities are deslra-
bic. that the more railroads locality
has the better for it, and they are, con-
seuuently, ready to meet the railroad
men half way, especially if a guarantee,
as security that they will build, is
given. The effect of this railroad
boom, no matter what proportions 1t
NAV assume, will be beneficial to the
country. Aside from the advantages
to be derived from increased transpor-
tation facilities, the immediate effect
will be felt in every branch OF trade.
1t will give employment to the ldlers OF
the country, and will enable them to
buy and pay for their purchases. 1t
will empty the work houses and take
the tramps from the street; in short, 1t
will make wage winner OF every I'M
skilled laborer in the land. Take for
instance the building of the Santa Fe
and the Rock Island to this city. 1t
will cost hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. 4 large portion of this will be
paid out in wages: several hundred
men, now idle, will be earning fair
wages during the working season, and
the money they receive, furnished by
eastern capitalists, will find It's way to
our business men, and from them will
run through every channel of trade.
ANY merchant in Abilene can tell you
the advantage we would reap were the
many men now idle to begin to earn
wages in this locality. He would feel
the effect at once, and the effect would
be a grand one. The railroad boom
will create a boom in all branches of
business, and we look for season of
unusual prosperity. Let the railroads
come.

coed To the presidency"
The above from Saturdays Gazette, is
another one of those clinchers which &c
to show that the editor of that sheet
has wooden head and cannot write
anything which the public can put con-
fidence in. The fact in the case is, the
resignation of Senator Sherman as pre-
siding officer of the Senate and the
electing of ingalls, in his stead, is a
matter of small consequence, for
Sherman was not acting vice-president
of the United States. There is really
no acting vice-president now, but
should Cleveland die, according to the
present law, Secretary Bayard would
become acting president.

The work of getting out the illustra-
ted edition of the REFLECTOR has been
unavoidably postponed, and it will pro-
baby not be given to the public for the
space Of two or three weeks from the
present time. A number Of city mer-
chants and county residents have but
lately signified their intention of being
represented, and as it will take some
time to complete their Illustrations, the
publication cannot be issued as we in
tended, during encampment week.
We hope our readers will accept the de-
Law, and be assured of the fact that a
much larger and better edition will be
issued than if it came out at the time
originally set.

The efforts of the small Republican
papers to find serious flaws in the adj
ministration Of President Cleveland,
would be amusing if they were not pit
liable. They dash at everything he does
like wolves at a buffalo. They tear
around for awhile until public opinion
compeIs them to pull off and shut up.
The president grows in favor with the
people month by month, and if some of
the politicians don't like him, they have
to swallow their dislike and accept the
situation.

THE CABBAGE MAGGO1.
An Emulsion Which Proved Fatal to All
the Parasites that 1t Touched.

An EmuIsIon which Proved Fatal to All
the Parasites that 1t Touched.
Early in June the roots of cabbage
and cauillower plants were found to
be invested with the cabbage maggot.
The attack was very severe, and, for a
time, it seemed that the crop would be
destroyed. On June 13, forty-thrcc
maggots were found upon or within
the root of single plant. We made
applications of the kerosene emulsion
to the roots by removing little earth
about the plant, pouring in the emul-
sion and replacing the earth. An ounce
of the Standard emulsion -four pounds
common yellow hard soap, one gallon
kerosene and one gallon watcr), dis
solved in one pint of soft water, repeat
edly applied, appeared to have no eff
feet on the maggots. Remembering
the experience of 1888, we feared to
Use stronger emulsion. Prof. A. j.
Cooks experiments at the Michigan
Agricultural College, indicate that
there is little danger of making the
emulsion so strong rs to injure
the roots. He writes us that he used
an emulsion consisting Of one quart
soft soap, one gallon water and one
quart kerosene, about the roots of cab
bagc plants without any harm result
ing. He adds that the emulsion of one
half this strength proved fatal to all
the maggots that it touched. He also
used gas lime with excellent results.
We tried mixture of pulverized earth
and mercury, after the manner that has
been recommended in California for
phylloxera, placing little of the mix
ture about the plants. This seemed to
have n beneficial influence, but was not
an entire success. We found some
dead maggots in the plants treated and
many of the worms appeared to have
left, but we also found some alive, in
immediate contact with the MIXTURE

DESTROYING WEEDS.
How Land Can BE Cleared OF Them In n
Few Years.


The time is coming when the most
successful farmers will have but very
few weeds to contend with, for we are
about to make another step of progress
in the cultivation of hoed crops. 1t is
no longer going to be the universal
custom to cease the war with the weeds
at midsummer, but some farmers arc
determined to keep up tho battle with
weeds during the entire season, and
others prevent any weed seeds from
ripening. 1t has been found by expe-
riepce that land can be cleared of weed
seeds in few years, if no new seeds
are permitted to ripen and fertilizers be
used to feed the crops. In fact, it has
been demonstrated that whole farm
can be cleared of weeds by few years
persistent effort, and thus even the
barn manure may be freed from weed
seeds. A farm thus freed is of much
higher value, and can be worked not
only with much moro pleasure, but also
with more profit
1t was real comfort to have gar
den that is freed from weed seeds.
Cultivation is so easy, every farmer, if
he does no more, should keep his
kitchen garden free from weeds; he
should never permit any to ripen
their seeds. 1t is true this, for the first
year or two, is some labor, but it can
be done, and it pays to do it. The way
to do it is simple and within the reach
of abby simply pulling all of the
weeds and permitting none to ripen
any seed, and using fertilizers, tho
work will be accomplished. The great
mistake which most gardeners make is
in neglecting the garden in August
and September, the very time when
'he weeds grow the best and ripen
their seed in the least possible number
of days. Every weed that is permitted
to grow will probably ripen ten thou
sand seeds-some of them more thai.
ten times that number. 1t does not re-
quire any argument to prove that it
would be easier to destroy one weed in
August than ten thousand the follow
ing spring; so, though an August weed
might not injure the ripening crop, ii
is economy to take particular pains to
destroy it before it begins to ripen its
seeds.
While some farmers are fully alive
to the Importance of destroying all the
weeds that make their appearance
among TIE hoed crops, they neglect
entirely to destroy any that grow on
the borders of the field, in the barn
ward and around the buildings;
but II the farm is to be kept clean OF
weeds, it is just as important to de-
stroy those on the borders Of the field
and in tho barn-yard as it is to destroy
them on the plowed land. Farmers
should carefully cut down, at least
twice year. all of the weeds, around
the cultivated fields, and on other por
tions OF the farm, and thus prevent the
ripening of weed seeds. There is nc
labor on the farm that pays better than
